    Bought tan strap today for my 16610* new pics Rolex on Tan**

    :D

    But 16610 at home so tried it on my SMP
    What you think?







    So tried to put the tan strap on my 16610 but can't get bracelet off? bit of pressure on front of end link and used bergeon to supress pins but won't budge, any ideas be good :)

    So thought try a tan strap on my Precision ( I bought 3 tan straps, thin, med and thick) thin looks great on a vintage omega, med maybe bit thick for the precision?
    Think the thick will look great on the 16610 if I can get it on :?

    Yep

    The "TSS 'GMT CS' Heavyweight Alligator Grain Leather Watchstrap"

    Great chunky strap perfect for my dive watches ( that don't dive :D )

    I like tan leather on most things but really can't see it going with the blue dial. MHO.

    Dont think I'd like tan on a 16610, just because its so unusual to see.

    Post pics when you do it though :lol:

    I think it will be a good combo! interesting if anything else :D , i tried a Seamaster Pro with a bracelet once and it never fit me just right so maybe a strap is perfect for that watch.

    Hard to tell from this picture as the blue dial & bezel almost look black. It is an interesting combination. I like steel bracelets on tool watches better.

    not for me. Blue and brown reminds me of late 70's Coventry City :?

    Re: Bought tan strap today for my 16610

    Strap/watch combo fail in every respect.

    Looks bloody awful, sorry. BUt try it on the 16610 it can't be any worst than on the SMP! :P
    (lovely watch by the way, the strap looks ok to, but just not together!)

    Re: Bought tan strap today for my 16610

    It's a great looking strap but not so hot on the Omega.

    Re: Bought tan strap today for my 16610

    Yeah I have to say those colours don't go together, IMHO :wink:

    great looking watch, great looking strap but they don't work together.
    just my view.

    The only thing that works for me with the SMP is the OEM steel bracelet... And nothing else!
    I think it will look great on a 16610 though. (controversial!)

    As long as you like it that's what matters

    I think that strap looks lovely on the precision, it tones really well with the dial, I have to say though, it just looks plain wrong on the SMP and I'm pretty sure it will look just as wrong on the Sub.

    Not got a Rolex buckle yet is the standard brushed stainless steel on it at the mo.
    They are from "watchworx"

    This one is the "TSS XR Matt Alligator Deep Padded Leather"
    but I have the "TSS 'M16' Matt Alligator Grain Padded" on my vintage Omega and its bit thiner and think it will fit better on the DJs and my Pricision

    Looks great on the Rolex Precision, not so great on the Omega.

    Who cares about that strap, only have eyes for that fantastic precision.
    Steel and champaign dial. Gorgeous watch.
    With a bullit on my wishlist.

    OK no for Omega SMP

    Re: Bought tan strap today for my 16610* new pics Rolex on Tan**

    not sure if I like it but Omega on tan is ok.

    Re: Bought tan strap today for my 16610* new pics Rolex on Tan**

    Looks lovely on that Precision. Good job! Seems to bring out the warm gold dial colour.

    I like the strap but not on those watches. Also, whenever I've tried any strap on a Sub, the unfinished area between the lugs which is revealed by removing the end links just looks bloody awful - IMHO!
